Elixir and OTP provide exceptional tools to build rock-solid backend applications that scale. In this course, you’ll build a web application in a radically different way, with a backend that holds application state. You’ll use persistent Phoenix Channel connections instead of HTTP’s request-response, and create the full application in distinct, decoupled layers.

In Part 1, you’ll start by building the business logic as a separate application, without Phoenix. You’ll model the application domain with Elixir functions and simple data structures.

In Part 2, you’ll add in the GenServer Behaviour to make managing in-memory state a breeze. 

In Part 3, you’ll build a web interface with Phoenix where you’ll use Phoenix Channels to establish persistent connections between the stateful server and a stateful front-end client.

Needless to say, you’re going to love this way of building web apps!

Functional Web Development with Elixir, OTP and Phoenix

## We’ve built a game!

Congratulations! We’ve made it.

We’ve built a Phoenix channel that provides an interface to the game engine we wrote in the first part of the course. We did it without coupling the logic to the interface in any way. The game engine concerns itself entirely with the business logic of the game. The Channel concerns itself entirely with brokering messages between clients and the game engine.
We’ve seen how to use Phoenix Presence to track clients who have subscribed to a channel on a topic and have also seen how to use that to implement an authorization scheme to join the Channel.

With that, we’ve completed the last layer we’re going to cover in this course. Now go build some amazing new web apps!
